The local oxidation produced by the tip of an atomic force microscope scanning on a thin metallic film allows to define narrow oxide lines, thus providing a method to fabricate lateral tunnel...
Vullers, RJM, Ahlskog, M, Cannaerts, Maarten; U0013265
We have investigated field induced local oxidation of thin Ti films with the tip of an atomic force microscope. Tips, which have been coated with a diamond layer to improve their wear resistance, are...
A microdeposition technique for carbon nanotubes based on electron beam lithography (1999)
Ahlskog, M, Seynaeve, Eric; U0028696, Vullers, RJM
We describe a deposition technique for either individual or small amounts of multiwalled carbon nanotubes which is based on electron beam lithography. Carbon nanotubes are deposited from the solution...
Titanium nanostructures made by local oxidation with the atomic force microscope (1999)
Surfaces can be oxidized under ambient conditions with the tip of a scanning probe microscope when applying a voltage between surface and tip. The oxidation process is voltage- and...
Ring formations from catalytically synthesized carbon nanotubes (1999)
Ahlskog, M, Seynaeve, Eric; U0028696, Vullers, RJM, Fonseca, A, Hernadi, K, ...
Rings of typically 0.5 mu m diameter have been observed with the atomic force microscope and the scanning electron microscope in carbon nanotube deposits produced catalytically by thermal...
Nanowire bonding with the scanning tunneling microscope (1997)
Van Haesendonck, Christian; U0011549, Stockman, L, Vullers, RJM, Bruynseraede, Yvan; U0011882, Langer, L, Bayot, V, ...
We have developed a reliable lithographic method to pattern thin gold films by locally exposing a thin layer of an electron beam resist with the tip of a scanning tunneling microscope (STM). The...
Magnetic transitions and magneto-transport in epitaxial Pr0.5Sr0.5MnO3 thin films (1996)
Metlushko, V, Vullers, RJM, ...
Epitaxial thin films of the magnetic perovskite Pr0.5Sr0.5MnO3 were prepared by dc-magnetron sputtering, structurally characterized by x-ray diffraction and their physical properties investigated by...
